Of course Huo Chenchen understood that his son was determined to perform well with his mother.
For his son's childish mentality of competing for favor, Huo Jinchen found it funny, but also felt a little sad. But in any case, he still tries his best to satisfy his son's wishes.
So when Huo Lanting said that he needed his father to provide a psychiatrist to his eldest brother, Huo Chenchen recommended his psychiatrist Peterson almost without thinking.
Huo Lanting didn't think too much, and immediately took Peterson to show off, and won a big victory. After Luo Juntian communicated with Peterson, Luo Juntian was very satisfied with Peterson, and Peterson was very satisfied with Luo Juntian's situation Also very interested, it can be said that the two hit it off.
Although he found a new target, before Peterson left, he still had a deep talk with Huo Chenchen. Obviously, he was not at ease with Huo Chenchen, and even said that he might report this matter to the old man of the Huo family.
Huo Chenchen just smiled lightly at this, and asked, "Peterson, isn't it finally free from a burden for you?"
Peterson was taken aback, then laughed.
Huo Jinchen knew very well that the eight years of psychological intervention treatment had almost no results, and it was almost useless for both himself and Peterson.
When you get rid of each other, everyone must be relaxed.
After Huo Jinchen said goodbye to Peterson, he took the initiative to call his father.
"I've heard Peterson mention it." The old man of the Huo family said in his usual majestic voice: "If you want to say something, just say it."
"Dad." Huo Jinchen's voice was calm: "Since I was a child, I have been the best son. I am impeccable in every aspect, am I not?"
"Yes." The old man of the Huo family even felt that his greatest success in this life was not himself, but having such a successful son.
"Because I'm so good, I always think I'm omnipotent, and I can't accept any imperfection in myself, so I always follow the rules. Everyone wants to get married, so I want to get married, even if that person doesn't know me at all. There is no love."
For his former ex-wife, he just didn't hate it, but let alone love, even if he liked it, he couldn't even talk about it.
The old man of the Huo family stopped talking. His son never said these things.
Back then when he said his son was going to get married, his son didn't object. After that, he settled on a suitable partner and got married smoothly. He never thought that his son would think so.
"After I discovered my flaws, I almost collapsed. My life is like a precision watch, and there are no mistakes. I can't forgive myself for such flaws." Huo Jinchen recalled those days , I closed my eyes wearily: "So I have been working hard to recover, even though I knew that a psychiatrist would be of no help to me, I persisted, pinning my hope on a slim possibility."
"Sometimes, I even feel that I may be lying to myself and you." Huo Chenchen opened his eyes and looked at the patchwork mountain scenery outside the window: "I know very well in my heart that a psychiatrist cannot solve my problems." , I just kept seeing a psychiatrist just to pretend that I was working hard, that I didn't give up, and that I could maintain this hard-working to perfect personality."
The old man of the Huo family on the other end of the phone has completely lost his voice.
Of course Huo Chenchen knew that what he said might have shocked his father.
Since he was a child, he has been too worry-free, and he can do everything perfectly. He has never talked about any troubles with his father. Perhaps in his father's eyes, this son is omnipotent.
But today, he gave up this persona.
Huo Jinchen continued: "Dad, today I want to tell you that I won't see a psychiatrist anymore, I gave up. If as the head of the Huo family, I must have an heir, then I already have Lan Ting. I don't want to see a psychiatrist anymore. I care about whether I am perfect enough, and I don’t want to care about whether I have any flaws.”
The phone didn't hang up, Huo Chenchen heard his own steady breathing, and also heard the same steady breathing of his father on the other side.
This is the similarity between father and son. No matter what they encounter, they always seem to be able to think and deal with it calmly.
After a long time, the old man of the Huo family finally said: "Jinchen, tell me, what made you change your mind?"
Huo Jinchen was silent for a moment when he heard this.
After a long time, he said: "I don't know either."
The old man of the Huo family over there heard it, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked another thing: "I heard that you found Lan Ting's mother?"
Huo Jinchen: "Yes."
Huo's old man: "then how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Huo Jinchen asked softly: "Dad, this matter is not a problem. Does it need to be dealt with?"
Huo's old man: "What do you mean?"
Huo Jinchen: "Let's go with the flow, Lan Ting likes his mother very much."
The old man of the Huo family: "Lanting likes his mother very much, and then?"
Huo Chenchen paused: "Then?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a long time, and finally a long sigh came, and then said: "Lan Ting likes his mother very much, I think, he must hope that his mother can accompany him like other mothers."
After saying this, hang up the phone.
Huo Jinchen sat there, silent for a long time.
Finally he opened the drawer and took out a document and a box. This document was ready and would be given to her on Gu Yuan's birthday. As for this gift, he chose it himself.
Playing with the exquisite little box with his slender fingers, Huo Chenchen remembered what the old man said just now. The old man asked him what made him change his mind, but he didn't answer.
In fact, he didn't know the answer.
For a long time, in his dictionary, there is no cowardice or giving up. He can only play this perfect role on the road of life endlessly like a mechanical watch that is wound up.
He also thought that he would continue like this forever.
But now, why has the mood changed
Huo Jinchen remembered that day, when he got the news that his son was sick, he rushed over in a private plane, but saw Gu Yan and his son lying on the balcony.
At that moment, he felt that he and they belonged to two worlds.
On the other side of the world, it was warm, quiet and comfortable, exuding a clean and pure atmosphere. On this side of the world, he worked diligently along his own trajectory, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
In the past few days, Huo Chenchen occasionally thinks of the story she told him that day. It was a naive story that played in his mind over and over again like an obsession. When he was looking at the boring business materials, the sweet The voice would enter his head without warning.
He remembered that night in the hospital, when he told her that his son was her son, her surprised expression was so vivid that he still remembered it now.
Huo Chenchen's eyes fell on the exquisite and beautiful box in his hand again.
In fact, it is also the first time for him to prepare a birthday present for a woman.
He had already specifically consulted the consultants around him, learned about some women's hobbies, and finally chose this gift.
But now, looking at this gift, he began to doubt, is this appropriate
After all, although they have a common son, they are strangers to each other.
Huo Chenchen finally called the secretary.
"Change the packaging of this box and replace it with..." Huo Jinchen pondered for a while, and said, "Simple, warmer."
"Simple? Warm?" The secretary was a little confused. The boss's hobbies are so elusive. Who is this for? Is there a woman beside the boss? She really couldn't figure it out.
"Yes, this is probably... a gift for older women." Huo Jinchen said this, but Gu Yuan's young face appeared in front of his eyes.
older
The secretary suddenly understood: "Okay, sir, I'll do it now."
…
And just after Huo Jinchen's phone was hung up, Huo Lanting quickly received a call from his grandfather.
"Grandpa, how's it going?!" Huo Lanting asked excitedly.
"Grandson, grandpa is sorry for you." Mr. Huo's voice was very guilty: "Your father can't get what I mean at all, and I can't help it."
"Grandpa!" Huo Lanting stomped in disappointment: "You should give my father an order and tell him that he must go after my mother, or he will be deprived of his property inheritance!"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Mr. Huo was helpless: "But your father is already suffering, how can I force him?"
He never expected his son to say such a thing.
All along, he felt that his son was too good and active, so that he, as a father, had to put on airs, but what happened? The son is so bitter in his heart!
He sighed with a sad face. If he had said it earlier, he didn't mean to let him get married.
If a successor is needed, there are many ways, isn't it because they think of a way to come up with Huo Lanting
"Grandpa, you are not someone else, you are the old man of the Huo family, you say a word that shakes the whole universe! My father has to listen to you!" Huo Lanting urged vigorously: "You have to show the vigor of your feudal patriarch , you mean what you say, my father must bow to you! How can a son disobey his father's words!"
"Then I'll think about it again." Mr. Huo was forced by his grandson, so he had to think hard. He had to be ruthless and see if he could find a way to force his son.
Huo Lanting encouraged his grandfather: "Grandpa, don't you want to see your son marry a daughter-in-law? Don't you want to see your poor grandson accompanied by his mother every day? For your son's happiness, for your grandson's childhood , you must show your aura of being a father!"
Mr. Huo's voice trembled: "...well..."
